加速器质谱测量93Zr的刻度研究

A method of determination for ⁹³Zr/⁹²Zr ratio by multi-collector inductively plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) was described in this paper. A ⁹³Zr/⁹²Zr ratio of (2.75±0.07)×10^－5 was obtained in the original sample for AMS measurement and its relative standard error was 2.5%. Considered the contribute of above-thermal neutron, a calculated ⁹³Zr/⁹²Zr ratio of 2.56×10^－5 was obtained and it was according with measurement of the result. The results showed that it can be used for AMS measurement standards sample preparation. A series 93Zr standards sample for AMS measurement were diluted by irradiated sample with enriched 92Zr.     

79SeAMS测量实验室标准中79Se/78Se比值

Using liquid scintillation counting (LSC) to determine the ratio of ⁷⁹Se/⁷⁸Se in the irradiated sample was reported. Firstly, the γ and β spectrum of irradiated sample was measured to find out the interferefering nuclide. Then, the irradiated sample was heated up to remove the interferefering nuclide from the sample as much as possible. At last, the activity ⁷⁹Se was determined by LSC, and the ratio of ⁷⁹Se/⁷⁸Se was determined to be (5.44±0.23)×10^－5. It provides reliable standard sample for AMS measurement.     

长寿命裂变产物126Sn活度和原子数的γ能谱法测定

By using HPGe γ-ray spectrometry, the activity of the long-lived fission product ¹²⁶Sn was measured. The number of ¹²⁶Sn atoms and the isotopic abundance of 126Sn/Sn were calculated based on the half-life value of 2.35×10⁵ a. The result of the isotopic abundance, (1.037±0.044)×10^－8, is consistent with the results measured by the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) within uncertainty limits, that confirms our procedures in the measurement of ¹²⁶Sn by AMS and lays a foundation for the AMS measurement of ¹²⁶Sn at much lower levels.
